I've been trying to free up space on my C: drive without formatting it, so I used WinDirStat to find large unnecessary files and discovered the "C:\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\PendingDeletes" folder. It's enormous (52 GB), filled with "$$Deleteme..." files, some of which are older than my computer. I usually have between 2 and 9 GB free on my C: drive, which prevents me from installing the latest updates. Whenever Windows starts an update, it fails and is withdrawn. I'm wondering if these files are essential for system backups and if it's safe to delete them.
